Be aware that whenever you use a "non-commercial" license, you might as well keep it under a much more restrictive license, because nobody can use it for any purpose in the open without fear of getting sued.

There is hardly a definition of "non-commercial" uses in any one jurisdiction. There is no way how this plays out in multiple jurisdictions.

Why not just use the GPL? Only those who are willing to fully open source their product can use your code commercially. I, for one, am quite willing to make that grant to anyone who will go that far.

If you're interested, we have a license generator for source-code over at Binpress that creates licenses based on the conditions you set. Similar use-cases to what GitHub is doing with Atom
